    Humans are also animals. Part of the animalia kingdom, like everything else of flesh and bone.

    Animals may not be sapient (being capable of human level generalist brain processing), but they’re absolutely individuals with individual personalities.

    You’d know this of you’ve lived with a few cats, or dogs, or worked on an animal farm for any length of time.

      Yes, and humans also get judged based on their own actions.

      You aren’t going to lock up the parents of a serial killer because they didn’t train them well enough.

      Dogs are individuals as well. Some still show their wild instinct even when trained well enough. Or are you saying dogs can’t have a personality?

        Well, that depends on whether or not the parents were abusive, now doesn’t it?

        Not sure what country you’re from, but abusive parents tend to get locked up.
